Home prices in the Denver area continued to rise in February while inventory fell to its lowest level since 1985, according to real-estate analyst Gary Bauer.

Bauer’s report, issued Wednesday and based on figures from Metrolist, said the inventory of homes available for sale was 6,786, down 4.3 percent from the January inventory figure of 7,094 and down 32.7 percent from the 10,086 in February 2012.

Home prices, meanwhile, increased an average of 11 percent from a year ago, further evidence of a strong market through the typically slower winter months.
